Douglas Scotney Poems

My daughter lives in there.
There's no way I could stay:
Look at what I'm wearing,
Even though I gave my daughter.
...

Having stolen all the goods and gone,
The English are back in Ireland
Seeking the good of man
In folksong of the past.
...

According to Keats
Thought order best expressed
Is clothed in dramatic form,
Next best in rhyme and song,
...

You who are going to Venus:
There is a third man who has waited
for thirty one years.
Waiting is meditating.
...

Australia will become more even
than the odd one now.

You won't have to use the power for two
...

When you slip a poem into Poemhunter
under one that's already there,
like I do with my One Text Poems,
you're not noticed,
...

With conservative might
Science says she'll be right, all is fine:
one cancer more than three in nine
is none when your talking a million.
...

There's little doubt
that what doubt has brought about
has brought about reactional violence.
...

We and our team
both hope it'll win,
for the pride and the bulk of the money,
...

Because of exhaustion
coffee drinkers don't drink in the heat
the amount they do in the cold.
...
